But more important than any of these was the vast, accretive weight of small things, from planes which hadn't crashed to men and women who had come to the correct place at the perfect time and thus founded generations. He saw kisses exchanged in doorways and wallets returned and men who had come to a splitting of the way and chosen the right fork. He saw a thousand random meetings that weren't random, ten thousand right decisions, a hundred thousand right answers, a million acts of unacknowledged kindnesses. ...For every brick that landed on the ground instead of some little kid's head, for every tornado that missed the trailer park, for every missile that didn't fly, for every hand stayed from violence, there was the Tower.
Seriously, folks, hook me up. I'm a lazy bitch who can't be arsed to make her own damn icons after almost 5 years on Livejournal. You know you love me! *ducks all the tomatoes*
Oh, LJ. I am truly sorry for being such a fickle, absent biatch lately. I love you kids! ...but you can't compete with the fact that it has been fucking BEE-YOO-tiful lately, which means I've been out as much as humanly possible. Seriously, my day lately has been: go out running, go to work/shopping/working on the house/go out again in the evening AND ALSO GO OUT SOME MORE. I'm gonna lose like 10 pounds from all the walking and running and hiking I'm doing, I'M SO HAPPYYYYYYY.
...less happy is all the gas money I'm probably wasting by my joy-rides around town. Er. Whoops. Seriously, though, I know the good weather has been seducing others aside from me; joucertainly does, anyway. We DO enable each other. It's terrible.
More so, I know I bitch about Ohio sometimes, but I will GUT YOU WITH THIS HERE CHOPSTICK if I hear someone try to tell me that it's not awfully beautiful when it wants to be. Shut up, yes, the highways are ugly, that's how this works. But you've never seen Oakwood or Sugarcreek or Hocking Hills or Athens, either, if you think it's all ugly as sin, so go away. Also, there is NOTHING that beats driving around in warm weather and sunshine past cute little farmhouses and corn fields with your windows down, blasting something like the Ramones or Eagles of Death Metal or (one of my personal favorites) the Lilo and Stitch soundtrack. (It's all Elvis and cute kids singing Hawaiian songs! ...I am such a sap.) That's something I'll really miss out West. I know Cali is super-congested, which means I'm probably screwed EVEN BEYOND the super-expensive gas. Oh, well. You'll all get to witness me having a crazy driving boner during my road trip in a few months, so that's okay.
A few last important things: theory_of_chaos, you haven't received your CDs yet because I am a horrible shitty slow person who keeps failing to go to the post office. They're all done, written out and everything, and... not mailed because I suck. *dies forever* I'M SO SORRY!! But I love your mix, I've had it in my car as I'm driving around and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I promise I'll get that out to you tomorrow!!
revid, I FINALLY got the first issue of "Paste" and I LUB IT. Thank you again! My mother thoughtfully didn't throw it out with all the other crap when it came in the mail. *dies*
leighrowena and _somniac_, do not think that I will not come after you with knives and forks if you try to wimp out on posting all about your Vegas trips. SO AWESOME! My flist rules (even when I suck at keeping up with it, FAIL). Ha, they probably won't even see this, since they're still off painting the town. *kisses to them in absentia*
And now I really must go. Have a lovely evening, boys and girls! ♥
